For years, Tina Turner struggled with health problems. At the age of 83, the singer died “peacefully” in her Swiss home on Wednesday. The global sympathy is great. A member of the press is now commenting again on the circumstances of her death.
Rock and soul legend Tina Turner died of natural causes on May 24th. That reports the “Daily Mail” citing a press representative of the legendary artist. Turner’s spokesman said on Wednesday: “Tina Turner, the ‘Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll’, passed away peacefully at her home in Küsnacht near Zurich at the age of 83 after a long illness.”
Turner has repeatedly struggled with serious health problems in recent years. The singer and eight-time Grammy award winner has suffered from high blood pressure for decades. In 2017 she received a kidney transplant. The organ was donated by her second husband, the German music producer Erwin Bach.
She was also diagnosed with colon cancer a year earlier. The singer suffered a stroke in 2009. A second followed in 2013, just three weeks after her marriage to Bach. As Turner revealed in her 2018 autobiography My Love Story, she had to learn to walk again with the help of a physical therapist.
On the occasion of World Kidney Day, Turner emphasized on Instagram ten weeks before her death how important it is to take care of his health. “My kidneys are victims of not realizing that my high blood pressure should have been treated with conventional medicine. I have put myself in grave danger by refusing to face the reality that I have a daily, need lifelong drug treatment. For far too long I believed my body was an untouchable and indestructible bastion, “revealed the US superstar.
